On Wednesday Dan and I spent a perfect winter evening in Detroit.
We parked on the street (for free) in Greektown, and ate at a good Greek restaurant (the Olympia) in historic Trapper's Alley. We drank hot tea with lemon, and both had saganaki (flaming cheese) as an appetizer. OPA!!! So a classic Detroit dinner.
Then we hopped on the People Mover, the monorail that snakes in a big circle through the downtown core. It only costs fifty cents each way. We rode to that historic shrine, Joe Louis Arena, to see the Detroit Red Wings play against the Nashville Predators.
The game was great - the Wings won, and it was Kris Draper night in recognition of his recent thousandth NHL game. There was even a good hockey fight - featuring Marion Hossa of all people. Who knew he could throw punches like that? Thankfully he did not hurt his hands or wrists. And our beloved Captain, Nicky Lidstrom, scored two goals!
After the game we rode the People Mover back to Greektown, where we heard a busker playing some sweet hot sax.
The rain and snow held off until we were nearly home.
Classic - perfect - Detroit winter evening.
